Baldwin Filters PA616 Automotive Air Filter Element

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS PA616 is a round air filter element designed for automotive and light-duty equipment air intake systems. It measures 10-7/32 inches in outside diameter and 12 inches in overall length, making it a direct-fit replacement in applications where those dimensions are specified. The element features securely affixed metal end caps that provide a proper seal, preventing airborne contaminant bypass and reducing the risk of leaks at the filter housing interface. Installation is performed by qualified automotive and diesel technicians during routine air intake service or filter replacement intervals.

This filter element is suited for automotive applications requiring a round, large-diameter air filter with metal end cap construction. The metal end caps help ensure a secure, leak-free seat in the housing, which is critical for protecting downstream engine components from airborne particulates. It is appropriate for use in vehicles and equipment where the specified outside diameter and overall length match the housing requirements.

Key Features

• Round element design with 10-7/32 inch outside diameter and 12 inch overall length
• Securely affixed metal end caps for a proper, leak-resistant seal
• Designed to prevent airborne contaminant ingestion past the filter media
• Inside diameter of 0.438 inches for precise fitment to center tube or housing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement air filter element for automotive and light-duty equipment applications requiring a round element with matching outside diameter and overall length dimensions.

Installation Notes

Air filter element replacement is typically performed by automotive or diesel technicians. Always shut down the engine and allow it to cool before accessing the air intake housing. Ensure the housing sealing surfaces are clean and free of debris before seating the new element to maintain proper seal integrity. Verify that outside diameter, overall length, and inside diameter measurements match the housing specifications before installation.
